Techniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-obedient, safe organisms.
View quotes by William Bainbridge

When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
View quotes by Frank Herbert

No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - 'devoted and obedient'. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman (Notes on Nursing)
View quotes by Florence Nightingale

Go, tell the Spartans, thou who passest by,
That here obedient to their laws we lie.
View quotes by Simonides

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. - Mansfield Park
View quotes by Jane Austen

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

View quotes by Aldous Huxley

Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile
View quotes by Sinclair Lewis

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

On his own history with mathematics, and connection with John Nash: 'I had a bit of a hiccup in the third year of high school. The school I was at hired a non-English speaking Hungarian who was a professional of some great standing in Eastern Europe. But he hadn't learned the English language yet. He probably is a great asset to the teaching staff now, but we were his first class. That was when mathematics and I parted ways.

'There's a lot of mathematics in music. It's all in groups of eight, mate, y'know. The one thing that I may have in common with John is that the subject matter I do know, the driving part of my life, my work life, there's a point where structure and scaffolding is left behind and intuition takes over. That's the difference between John and the next 100 mathematicians. He's fully prepared to leave the scaffolding behind and get into the ether of the equation and find the answer quicker. The bane of his existence, however, is finding the proof.'
View quotes by Russell Crowe

I don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
View quotes by Tom Hanks

Every man, when he comes to be sensible of his natural rights, and to feel his own importance, will consider himself as fully equal to any other person whatever
View quotes by Joseph Priestley

I tried to walk a line between acting lawfully and testifying falsely, but I now realize that I did not fully accomplish that goal.
View quotes by Bill Clinton

Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
View quotes by Charlotte Bronte

Before you act consider; when you have considered, tis fully time to act.
View quotes by Sallust

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
View quotes by Ansel Adams

In a higher phase of communist society... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
View quotes by Karl Marx

What is guilt? Guilt is the pledge drive constantly hammering in our heads that keeps us from fully enjoying the show. Guilt is the reason they put the articles in Playboy.
View quotes by Dennis Miller

A novelist is, like all mortals, more fully at home on the surface of the present than in the ooze of the past.
View quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

We never fully grasp the import of any true statement until we have a clear notion of what the opposite untrue statement would be.
View quotes by William James

Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
View quotes by Tennessee Williams
